And now idiots are freaking out because Obama ejected a heckler who happened to be a Latina transwoman:

"WAS THE MIDDLE OF MY SENTENCE INTERRUPTING THE BEGINNING OF YOURS!"

Those meetings with the media follow certain rules and conventions. Obama (or whoever is talking) let's people ask him questions and decides which of them he answers. (Are these rigged with people asking the question he wants to answer so that he can avoid the awkward ones? Most definitely.) When she kept interrupting him and refused to stop it, despite getting numerous chances to do so, she became a nuisance.

Did she have a point? Sure. Could she have gotten her chance to speak if she had followed the conventions? Much more likely. At least Obama was diplomatic. He kept calm and gave her a chance to back off. She didn't take it and when there were no easier options Obama had her removed. Unless someone reveals that the SS beat her up behind the corner and dumped her in the sea it looks like Obama handled it well.

She did her thing as she had to. Classic political protest, not a "heckler" incident. She knew she would get kicked out, and most importantly, knew what she was saying about unfair deportations would be reported in the press and heard in the video. I found it kind of sad that people in the room were "shushing" her, supposedly her fellow LGBTQ activists. What she did was very brave in the face of all that. Under Obama's and the Republican-dominated Congress' tenure we have seen record deportations and other bad actions in re immigration, and things are vastly more difficult for LGBTQ immigrants.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

It's Japanese, most likely butchered, and I think it's "I hate them" and "I'll kill them."

Here's some jackass calling for Gone With the Wind to fade into obscurity:

Then again, what do I expect from the New York Post?  It's like Buzzfeed on paper.

Naw, keep GWTW...right there next to Birth of a Nation. It has it's historical value, at least in portraying mid-20th century attitudes about blacks and slavery. It was pretty damn bad in that the story molded opinions for millions of whites who lived where there was virtually no social interaction with blacks. And it reinforced more and stupider stereotypes for black actors to bang their heads against in frustration. Butterfly McGee, anyone?

A chicken bit my dog. So I got revenge on it by consuming the bodies and souls of its whole family and I will not stop until it's whole race is extinct or I am dead.

Fuck those chickens.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "desu" considered a word of politeness? Kind of like saying "I hate you, sir. I would like to murder you if you wouldn't mind terribly."
